A theater owner took a survey of the types of movies their visitors like. Predict how many visitors would like a comedy if they surveyed 1,275 students.
To predict how many visitors would like a comedy out of 1,275 students, we can first calculate the percentage of visitors who liked comedy in the original survey:
Comedy: 12 visitors
Total Visitors: 12 + 5 + 3 + 0 + 18 + 7 + 5 = 50 visitors
Percentage of visitors who liked comedy = (12/50) * 100 = 24%
Now, we can apply this percentage to the total number of students surveyed:
Number of students who would like comedy = 0.24 * 1,275 = 306 students
Therefore, we predict that out of 1,275 students surveyed, approximately 306 would like a comedy.
